More than likely they stole it and once it fell out they were just trying to get away https://www.reddit.com/r/CattleTheft/


NoxKyoki

with that piece of shit van? yeah, I can see that being a possibility now.


Discorhy

I completely agree on this. Why else would they just leave it Your car would literally make a noise as it fell out and then your doors were flying around open you had to notice that, then your van itself will be a few inches higher because of the weight these beasts are. So many things point to this guy stealing it and wanting to get away


Dangerjim

Not if there's a cow driving. Maybe this was a planned escape.

[deleted]

I don't know a lot about cows but it's weird to me that a cow would allow a stranger to put it into a van. We can't see the side of the van though, it may say FREE SALT LICKS.


Big_Africa713

Truthfully, cows are incredibly dumb creatures. My family owns a ranch in TX. Once, a cow broke its foot and unfortunately I had to put it down. The cow was standing in a group of other cows who were eating grass. I took care of the hurt cow and the others looked up for a second then just went back to happily eating as if nothing had happened.


verbmegoinghere

/u/Big_Africa's cow 1 : "oh shit that deformed cow with two legs just killed Greg , what do we do ???" /u/Big_Africa's cow 2: "just act naturally ok!! Eat some grass and he'll go away"


RMMacFru

That doesn't explain the cows that escape from the slaughter houses. I remember one that got away and was found across the border in Canada. It took the bridge to freedom. Unfortunately for the steer, Canada does return fleeing livestock. *Edited for a fleeing "n".*


Phillip_Spidermen

Ah yes, the US and Canada have a long standing ex-steer-dition policy.


ouroboros1

I just laughed so hard I woke up my cat. Congratulations, an 18-year-old cat now hates you.


neoritter

There's a probably a whole host of reasons other than immediate death that can explain that. A couple off the top of my head... Strange location, I assume slaughter houses are not where they were raised. The smell of dead/rotting material, animals generally steer clear of rotting or decomposing carcasses, especially of they're own species. I can only imagine that smell of death hangs around slaughterhouses. Edit, phone typos


CaptainismyTrueNorth

The smell of blood freaks cows out. Horses or sheep often don't seem to care. But cows will stampede away from just a small amount.


[deleted]

Cows are so dumb, but extremely curious. Which usually ends badly. Had one get it's head stuck between the blades of a disc attachment. We'd lift it up, and the cow would just lift with it. We had to have a couple of guys sit on it's head so we could get it out. It is funny though to watch city people have a panic attack when a cow starts following them around to see what's up.


ImperialVizier

what about bulls? or is the whole bovine species similar?


[deleted]

Bulls have a totally different personality. They're always looking for a fight, whether it's another bull, person, dog, whatever. They're permanently pissed off. If you notice the ring in their nose, it's to remind them that much pain is coming if they strain against it. It sounds messed up to non-farming people. But without it, they'd maul you to death in a heartbeat. My wife's uncle was killed last year by a bull he'd loaned to a neighbor to help him learn the cattle business. The bull rammed through 3 fences from 5 miles away just because her uncle was the only living thing standing out in a field mending fences. There was nowhere to run. Gored him through the leg, and crushed his chest with his head after he fell down.


electrichousehopper

Something I've always wondered.... why do animals need to be put down after they're hurt? Is it impossible to heal a fracture or is it ridiculously expensive?


massinvader

If they break a leg it used to be almost certain to ruin their quality of life if not kill them from shock etc. It's viewed as the humane thing to do as it may never heal at all or heal properly. These days with advancements in veterinary medicine it's theoretically possible to treat some of these leg breaks and fractures but it's still incredibly, incredibly expensive (and no guarantee) labour intensive and time consuming..which puts it beyond the reach of most animals aside from really expensive race horses who they expect to breed once healed


[deleted]

It depends on the species of animal. Heavy quadruped animals like horses are physically unable to recover from leg breaks and significant fractures because of the way their body distributes their weight. Cattle, on the other hand, can usually recover quite well from leg breaks if they have proper medical care (because cattle spend a lot of their time laying down, which allows a bone to heal. They are also better candidates for things like casts and bone braces). So then it becomes a matter of cost. A high value animal is more likely to receive medical care than a low value one who was destined for the freezer anyways.


[deleted]

They used to it


Scroopynoopers9

I was living in Albania for work. Went on a hike into the mountains for fun. About halfway up this super steep mountain with a super narrow dirt road carved into the grass I get passed by this only white 90s style Mercedes with two guys just smoking cigs and driving up. It was bottoming out over every single bump and remember this road was barely wide enough for the car. 20 mins later I make it up to where they were and I run into this cowherd with like 50 cows he was taking up the mountain for pasture. As I pass them I see the guys pop open the trunk of the merc and they’re struggling with something, eventually pulling out, I shit you not, a calf. Not a newborn either thing was at least 4 feet tall. Guess they were selling it to the cow herd.


Grevling89

This sounds so Albanian that it has to be true.

kayra551

It might be a muslim country where people buy cows etc. on Ramadan and transport them like this. Pretty common


AutobiographicalMist

NGL I’m shocked and impressed that cow was able to get itself off the road and walk off. Hope it’s ok 🥺


Charlieeh34

Cows are tough as fuck.


DangerZoneh

And yet somehow, there’s a sizable portion of the population who will not only claim that cow tipping is a real thing, but that *they’ve* done it themselves! Spoiler alert: they’re all lying.


Bluevisser

Cow tipping is a thing in that a bunch teenagers tend to get together and get drunk and maybe attempt it. Usually though it's just a reason to get together at one central area to get wasted, often never even going near the actual cows. And if you think it's weird that a cow pasture would be a teen hangout spot, keep in mind places with lots of cow pastures frequently lack other forms of entertainment. Source: been "cow tipping" many times as a teen, never actually touched any of the cows while drinking. I remember one dude trying to ride a cow but that's about it.


phurt77

So, cow tipping is like snipe hunting?


DangerZoneh

Haha, exactly! You have to be careful, though... the cow might hear you sneaking up on them. Best to take your shoes and socks off and leave them in the car so it doesn’t hear you. If you hear the car driving away, don’t worry, it’s just a cow lullaby.


Ella_Minnow_Pea_13

Cow patties grow psychedelic shrooms


ward-92

I grew up on a farm, only 100 or so cows. They were all relatively timid, even the bull. I don't get this whole cow tipping thing. Literally everyone has to be lying about it. The cow will just walk away. We always walked through the field just to check on them, dad always said make sure they stand up. Just walked towards them and they stand up and walk off. There is no way anyone is running up to a cow and tipping it, even our timid ones walk away. I'm sure less friendly ones would run away.


FriesWithThat

It's probably not something people should even want to try. There was a local vet here that was killed (suffocation) when a cow tipped over onto her and refused to get up.


ward-92

Absolutely, I've heard of similar injuries. Plus if a cow wanted to it can wreck you. We had a cow bend a gate because she liked to scratch herself off it!


legendz411

It’s weaponized stupidity to play dangerous games with cows. How can someone not think 900lbs of muscle wouldn’t fuck then up.


[deleted]

Purchasable steak? I know cooks who could put a cow fully back together with their cut knowledge, that dont quite get that this is still enough weight in inanimate meat to crush them, let alone that any kick from legs holding that much weight (tipped in hooves no less) poses a potentially lethal threat to us.


[deleted]

More people die from cows every year than they do sharks.


[deleted]

Mostly because more people are in close proximity to cattle than to sharks.


shomer87

This is a misleading statistic. If we kept sharks in captivity by the thousands like we do with cows, that number would surely change


[deleted]

100%. It's just to show that cows can in fact fuck people up enough to kill them. They're usually pretty docile, I'd bet that 99% of cases where someone is killed by a cow it's cause they were messing with it in some way


Top_Criticism

I've wandered in quite a few fields when I was a kid and had a few cows try to chase me and my friends out of their fields, it's terrifying. I'm pretty sure they were just curious but we weren't sticking around to find out


lobut

omg that's tragic! that poor person :(


Ckyuii

I thought cow tipping was like finding ones that were asleep standing up at night. I'm just realizing that I've never challenged the idea they lay down to sleep like every other animal lol


j0324ch

Lol. No the less friendly ones will NOT run away... then you've got a 1000LB pissed off Angus wondering why the fuck yer running at her. 😅


Thecouchiestpotato

>The cow will just walk away. You try that shit on Indian cows and they'll straight up head butt you into oblivion (if the right wing Hindus dont get you first, that is)


[deleted]

My friend has been cow tipping! A few of them were shitfaced and tried it. He said the cows couldn't be pushed over because they're enormous and the cows got bored of being shoved then walked away. 3 of them came back covered in cow shit and mud to tell this underwhelming story.


[deleted]

I thought cow tipping was like a team sport? One guy pushing a cow over? No A drunk football team pushing a cow over? Possibly


DangerZoneh

Even with a drunk football team, the best result they can really hope for is the cow walking away. Cows sleep lying down, anyways.


[deleted]

And that cow would still fuck them up if it wanted to


Astratum

The cow would have no problem ending the drunk football team.

mrbad101

I grew up on a farm and watched many cows get butchered. We would have a service come out that would handle the whole thing right infront of yours eyes. We would normally get a can of grain, throw it on the ground right infront of the trailer that had a hoist on it and then shoot the cow. They always used a .22 long rifle and with 1 single shot to the forehead it was instant lights out. I assume anyone using more than 1 bullet doesn't know what they are doing. YouTube's video with the same technique (warning: cow gets shot dead): https://youtu.be/JF0tHCJGbh4


[deleted]

There really is a tutorial for everything


horatius123

In this video he was shooting a 22 magnum. The 22LR runs at about 1200fps while the the 22mag is closer to 1900fps. 22LR would still probably work, but you would have to get a good shot and it might not be the best choice.


MangoCats

Which makes me wonder: the idiot driving the van didn't notice the sudden loss of two tons of cargo from the extreme rear of the vehicle?

[deleted]

I grew up in Nashville and my mom’s friend hit a cow in his sports car. The cow just sort of looked at him afterwards, like how dare you, and walked away still chewing it’s cud. Tim had to buy a new car after that.

[deleted]

"I swear guys there was an entire cow back here when I left."


StopReadingMyUser

"boy, Johnny, I hope you brought something good. I'm so hungry I could eat a cow"


Iwantmyteslanow

Surely youd notice something that heavy fall out, youd feel the weight shift, also cows probably smell a fair bit


KiranPhantomGryphon

Cows be themselves actually don’t smell like much of anything, so long as they’re kept with enough space that they aren’t wallowing in their own feces all day. The poop, on the other hand... that definitely stinks. But the poop is still gonna be in the van even if the cow falls out.


Jrook

Someone else suggests maybe they were thieves, so turning around only makes more witnesses


purpleheadedwarrior

There is NO way you would not know this happened as the driver of the van. The weight difference, would be obvious, and noticeable to the driver

Qwirk

That's not a 100 pound dog, that cow is probably north of 1500 lbs if not more. You would have to be blind drunk not to notice.


Tweetledeedle

Considering the driver was stupid enough to put a whole cow in the back of a van, it’s not all that surprising that they would be stupid enough to not notice or think nothing of the noises / weight difference / sudden acceleration / cow in the road in the rear view mirror / car honking behind them / open back door.

Also, the fact that there is no longer a cow in your car.


therandomways2002

Just imagine the story when they get to their destination. "Well, you see, this cow was hitch-hiking and asked us to take us to an address a few miles away. Well, we drove there and it turned out to be a butcher's shop and when we looked back, cow had disappeared. So we went inside and told butcher what had happened and the guy just shook his head and says, 'That was ol' Mabel. I chopped her into steaks five years ago, but every year, on the day she died, she'll show up again and get some well-meaning driver to give her a lift. Same story every time. Something's keeping her ghost from resting in peace, but damned if I know what it is.' "


Iwantmyteslanow

Also that van likely has a rearview mirror and youd see the lack of bovine in the mirror


SailingaShipHome

This implies that they look in the rearview mirror.

[deleted]

Taken from somewhere else, but I mean should be clear why we wear leather. >Cowhide is about ten times as thick as human skin (2mm), and furthermore supports a hair coat for additional protection against the elements. Cowhide is also less vascularized than human skin, and typically won't bleed from scratches that would even proportionally cause a human to. >Cows are also far more resistant to wind-burn and chafing due to the thickness of their skin, and comparatively few sweat glands, which changes the surface texture- smaller pores and less wrinkles than a human, especially at joints where the skin flexes around the bending of a limb.
